Tip #2 to kick off your portable plan.

• Define your pitch 

Now that you have identified your skills and worked on boosting your confidence, try to summarize your one major talent in one or two sentences. Those will help you create your pitch or “elevator pitch”, a sort of introduction to the key information about you that will make people want to know more about you.
 
Here is a little exercise to help you define your pitch. Answer these 4 questions:

--> What?

Ask yourself what kind of expert do those skills make you or who do you want to become with some more training while capitalizing on those skills.

--> Who?

Think of what kind of value does it bring to other people and who are the people you can serve with those skills.

--> Why?

Define what makes you unique and how you can make a difference.

--> How?

Make sure that the means you use to provide your expertise are clear and understandable.

• Practice until you have no hesitation

Indeed, you have to be able to tell your pitch out loud without any hesitation. Practicing your pitch will help you believe in yourself but also be convincing when you present yourself and your skills when necessary. The more you can say who you are and what you do without any hesitation in your tone, the more assured you will sound.
 
Use the mirror technique, repeat your pitch few times every day in front of a mirror and believe it when you say it! The first time it can seem weird, but trust me, the more often you do it, the more you will be able to notice some great transformation with your self-confidence and the way you will be perceived.
 
Also, the other step would be to record a video of you explaining your pitch and presenting your skills. The more comfortable you will be with what you see and hear on the video the more convincing you will be.
 
Finally, once you’ve practiced alone and if you think you still have some hesitation, turn to the people you trust, your friends, community or professionals to practice your pitch with.
